New Economy
In Germany, the immigration debate moves into the spotlight over the issue of much-needed (foreign) high-tech workers.
A debate familiar to many Americans has finally gripped Germany. The German debate mirrors the U.S. situation in several ways – including the political conundrum it poses for the both German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Vice President Al Gore. With important elections coming up – at the state level in Germany and the national level in America – issue is moving into the spotlight. Schroeder opened a recent computer fair with a big surprise for his audience: “Germany desperately needs people with technology skills”, he said. “So why not welcome Indian or Russian computer wizards into the country?” Even his original plan – for 30,000 temporary high-tech-worker visas – fell of what is needed. Germany lacks 300,000 skilled workers, half of them in the information-technology (IT) industry itself. And the shortfall is getting worse. Still, under the pressure from unions and fundamentalist conservatives, the chancellor soon scaled back his proposal.
And with German unemployment at 10 per cent, retraining the domestic work force is a vital goal. But in an industry where a few months can make or break a company, waiting two years or more for the first retrained workers to appear is not a solution.
The suggested compromise – trying to attract 20,000 foreign IT workers to Germany – won’t do much for the high-tech companies Schroeder is so keen to help. And it certainly doesn’t bode well for the European Union’s recently proclaimed goal of becoming “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world”.
